Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16
The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

You recently reverted this article with the edit summary "no recent reason was given for the removal of this". There was a reason posted the day before, at the time the statement was removed. DJ Clayworth (talk) 13:36, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

A humble request to you
Hi Admin,

This is Svr014, an American Wikipedian. I request you to semi-protect my user page as early as possible. I am afraid that IP editors and new editors may harass me by putting false notices on my user page. This is my sincere request to you. Awaiting your help. Thanks and have a nice rest of the weekend.
